Relay (Toy) Operation
The Randomizer has a relay that allows battery-operated devices
such as switch-adapted toys to be activated simultaneously with
each message. The toy will activate for the entire duration of the
recorded message.
Example 1:
For this example, use the relay to activate a toy for
the duration of the message. You will need a standard cable con-
nector with 1/8” (3.5mm) male jacks on both ends (available from
Adaptivation). One end of the cable connector is plugged into
the adapted toy (if your battery operated toy is not already com-
mercially adapted for switch use, adapt it with a Battery Interrupter
available from Adaptivation). The other end of the cable connector
is then plugged into the jack marked RLY OUT on the Randomizer .
Record a message. To activate, simply press the Randomizer, and
the toy will activate for the duration of the message.
Example 2:
This example may be useful when you want an adapted
device to stay on for longer than the message length.
Option 1: Record messages as described earlier, but continue
to press the Randomizer after you are done speaking (record
silence). Release. Repeat for each message. When messages
are played, the adapted toy will be activated for the dura-
tion of the entire message, including the silence at the end.
Option 2: A commercially available switch-latch-timer, such
as Adaptivation’s Linkswitch allows for customizing time
lengths and modes of operation.
